now, it's unknown what caused the driver to lose control of his dump truck. we know that it was an empty load and there is a quarry up there and we have heard from people who live in the neighborhood saying that it's been a continue use problem for years for -- continuous problem for years for dump truck and other vehicles speeding up and down the street. there's been concerns about that. one of the other problems is the pole that you see there in the distance. that was knocked down. there were lines down and utilities have been called. they were trying to determine exactly what those were, too, if those were pg&e, phone, cable lines. i want to go to show you what it looks like from chopper 2, from some video that we have from earlier of what it looks like from the air. again, santa clara county sheriff's department is investigating this. they have closed off foothill boulevard again from stevens creek to voss. we don't see any residents out and about in the neighborhood.

involved shooting will be investigated fairly and supervisor david ravad says that's why the board is taking any action. >> any time you have a lack of trust in any capacity, i think you need to deal with it and address that. i think there's many ways to do that. whether this committee will morph into a full-blown subpoena-searching investigative body is yet to be scene. >> reporter: investigators say the opportunity shot and killed the 13-year-old after mistaking the teen's air soft bb gun for a real ak-47. the lopez family has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the deputy and the department. and the santa rosa police department continues to investigate that shooting. now, the county board of supervisors may be getting underway along with the task force. they will be taking up the issue of establishing a memorial park at the site that andy lopez was shot and killed.
